scooter question

tech1 · 04-09-2003, 06:57 PM

howdy all. I have a scooter blenny that doesn't seem like he is eating very well. He stays in the corner of the tank under the sand for much of the day. When feeding the other fish , some of the brine shrimp will pass right by him; he'll never move. any ideas..let me know

thanks

I didnt have my scooter for long when I did have him but FWIW when I had him he was very timid, and shy. If he stays in one certain area maybe you can try some other foods....krill, shrimp etc etc.....is his tummy pinched?

I've never had any luck with scooter blennies (I've had 2), even in my big tank with live rock and live sand. They seem to have more of a propensity to starve themselves to death than other fish. I've never had any problem with dragonets, but scooters just waste away. Sorry, I wish I had an idea or two.
